Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Pamela J. Ball

Notability
This article is about an author of, as far as I have been able to find, eighteen books. Two are novels, two are historical (about Jack the Ripper and Nostradamus), and the rest are about dreams and other spiritual and metaphysical subjects. All the biographical info I have found so far is from the publishers of the novels and from the university that she got her Masters' Degree from (and lectured at), which all says that she was born in Hawaii and went to college and lives in Florida. The only other bio I have found so far says that she has worked in the USA, Switzerland, and the UK, but I've found none that says she was born there or currently lives there.

Some of her books published by Foulsham Arcturus list her as Pamela Ball, and some as Pamela J. Ball. Search engines on Amazon.com and others list the novels, historical books, and spiritual/metaphysical books as if they are all by one author. Some of the publishers, unfortunately, either no longer seem to exist (like Capella) or simply don't have any online biographical info (like Random House and it's subsidiary, Gramercy).

I am searching for info to confirm that these are all books by the same person. I would argue that even if they are two people, an author of, say, 14 books on spiritual/metaphysical subjects, none self-published and including titles published by Random House and Foulsham, is plenty notable. I will continue to try to sort out the books, but it would not be unusual for an author of both fiction and non-fiction to have two separate bios. I would certainly welcome any actual help researching the subject of this article, instead of just shooting it down. I hope I'll at least be given some time to try to complete the picture.
